Author Uncovered: Danielle Joseph (Author Interview)

Hey guys! I'm interviewing Danielle Joseph this week as part of the contest I'll be posting tomorrow to SAVE SHRINKING VIOLET! Shrinking Violet is a great book and I love it! It's sweet! Just like the author of this book :-)





Her book:


Are you a morning person or a night owl?
NIGHT OWL!

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Oh, there has been plenty:)! Off the top of my head, though...in college my friends convinced me to call into a popular talk radio show and pretend I had problems with my strange roommate. I called and they put me through on the air. I was in one room while my friends were in the other room giggling! It was fun!

Pick one word to describe you.
Here's my uncreative response: creative:)!

What was the last book you read and didn't really like?
This is a tough question because i have read so many good books this year, most of them by debut authors. I'll just say that I tend to stay away from books with tons of description. That is not my style.

How does it feel like, knowing your books are on those bookshelves in the bookstores right now?
It's a wonderful feeling to know that Shrinking Violet is on the shelves in different bookstores around the world. I get excited every time that I walk into a bookstore and see a copy!

What is the best thing that's ever happened to you?
Besides, getting married and having my kids, it's definitely getting published! It really was a dream come true for me!

What's the last thing you've Googled?
Not to sound morbid but death. It's research for the novel that I'm working on.

What's the last song you had stuck in your head?
Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. I'm not sick of it yet!

Do you have any upcoming books?
Yes, my next novel, Indigo Blues is due out in Fall 2010 from Flux Books. It's another music-themed book but this one is told in two points of view. It’s about a song writer who breaks up with his girlfriend and writes a hit song about their breakup. It chronicles what happens when they are both instantly thrust into the limelight.

That's it! Thanks Danielle for letting me interview you!

Peace, love, and shrinking violets,
